Crystals of KDP (KH2PO4), DKDP or D*KDP (KD2PO4) and ADP (NH4H2PO4) are grown by a water-solution method and can be grown up to very large size. Therefore, they are as low-cost and large-size finished non-linear components available.
Advantages of KDP
Good UV transmission.
High damage threshold.
High birefringence.
Low cost.
Large size available.
Applications of KDP
The second, third and fourth harmonic generators for Nd: YAG and Nd:YLF lasers.
Electro-optical applications as Q-switches for Nd:YAG, Nd:YLF, Ti:Sapphire and alexandrite lasers
For pockels cells and as for acousto-optical applications
Frequency-doubling (SHG) and -tripling (THG) of Nd:YAG laser at 1064 nm
Frequency - quadrupling (4HG, output at 266 nm) of Nd:YAG laser.
